Porcelain Pee Hole

I just got done leading a Small Group of H.S. aged girls at the church. My friend Christen and I get together with these girls once a week to go over the book Every Young Woman's Battle. I am constantly amazed at how spiritually mature they are...I am blown away sometimes. It makes me realize how much I wish there were more girls like that when I was in High School. These girls are awesome though, truly awesome! I pray that they can continue to grow in their faith and maintain a strong footing with their beliefs. It is encouraging to see how God is working in this world even when it seems like it is going down the porcelain pee hole.

I know that these girls are going to be bombarded with temptations from every angle. It would be insane for Satan to not try to cause these God-fearing woman to stumble. I can only pray that they look to God for strength and guidance when trials present themselves. If you can please say a small prayer for all the young women who are trying to figure out life and themselves...pray that they figure out their purpose for Christ and allow Him to mold them.

I get excited when I see their potential and I feel very blessed to have the opportunity to cultivate a relationship with them.

Only Can Share So Much

Crazy weekend. No doubt about that. If you do read this just pray for my family. Some big changes are going on right now and there is some forgiveness being asked for. My sister is moving back home with my parents and that opens the door for possible headaches. There are other issues that make the situation stickier and all that I know is that there is a lot of need for prayer.

On a semi-lighter note... the Bears lost. All I have to say is boo to that. Not only am I a Bears fan and hate to see them lose, but now I have to comfort my depressed husband. Ben really does think that if he yells loud enough at the television...the Bear's will hear him. There are times that I think he gets the hint that they can't hear him. So he will crank it up a notch and throw in a jump, stomp, or a punch to the ground. Once when he was excited and had already exasperated his normal "moves" he looked around and then ripped off his shirt. Just took it right off and threw it to the ground. Luckily it was only the two of us watching the game...but I just stared at him in amazement. I am always nervous about what he will do next...I might start duct taping his clothes on him before we watch the Bears games. That's not overkill is it?
